I have recently been on a shopping spree with the Shroomery's sponcers. I purchased a Datura Metel plant and did my homework on reading up on it's effects and their shamanic usages in Mexico and the American Southwest. However, before I would think to ingest an unlnown plant, or any part of it, I would like to know about any personal experiences anybody has had with it. I don't want to get off for a week or longer by accident like some acquaintences of mine did when they ODed on Brugmansia Aurea (angel's trumpet). They were messed up for almost 2 months. That's not what I want. So if anyone has any personal experience with Datura let me know.Thanks.

Datura is a Deliriant, it will make you fucking crazy rather than lead you down a road of nice warm visuals. Ingesting Datura makes you think like a schizophrenic, or so I've heard.

Oddly enough,that's a very common effect for people who try to trip off tropanes,even people that don't smoke.

Well I hope that it makes a beautiful ornamental tree, cause I certainly ain't eatin' any of that shit.Any insights on some of the other plants I bought:Heimia SalicifoliaLeonotis LeonurusIlex ParaguatensisPiper BetelHyoscyamus AlbusI bought them just for the fun of growing them and if it wouldn't kill me I would try them. I'm really re-concidering that thought.

I don't know anything about botany,but I'm assuming Hyoscyamus Albus contains high levels of hyoscyamine (sp?). If it contains less scopolamine and atropine,it could produce a "cleaner" trip than Datura. All the tropanes have different muscarnic acetylcholine binding profiles to the differnt sub receptors.

You should read the part about the tropanes in The Golden Guide to Hallucinogenic Plants . You can find it on Erowid.

They have isolated that compound,it's used in medicine and it's called scopolamine. However,along with imaginery ciggarettes comes all the other hallucinations.
